Indulge in a classic lemon dessert with a buttery crust, creamy lemon custard filling, and eye-catching golden swirls. Sure to impress your guests and elevate any event!
Ingredients:
  • 200g plain sweet biscuits
  • 125g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 9.00 gm gelatine powder
  • 300ml pouring cream
  • 225g (3/4 cup) lemon curd
  • 250ml (1 cup) pouring custard
  • Egg yellow food colouring, to tint
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 4cm-deep, 26cm ceramic pie dish by greasing it. Use a food processor to finely crush the biscuits into crumbs. Add the butter and rind to the processor and blend until combined. Press the biscuit mixture evenly onto the base and sides of the dish using the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge until needed.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, pour 60ml (1/4 cup) cold water. Sprinkle gelatine over the water and mix well. Microwave on HIGH for 10 seconds, ensuring not to overheat. Whisk with a fork until gelatine dissolves. Let it cool slightly before using.
  • Using electric beaters, whip the cream until it starts to thicken slightly (be careful not to over whip, or the mixture will become too thick). Add the lemon curd and custard, whisking gently. Fold in the gelatine mixture promptly.
  • Spread half of the mixture in the prepared dish, extending it towards the edges. Divide the rest evenly into two bowls. Mix yellow food coloring into each to make two different shades of yellow. Pour the lighter shade into the center of the dish and gently tap it on the counter to even it out. Then pour the darker shade into the center, tapping to smooth it out. Use a skewer to create a swirl pattern. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours until set. Serve and enjoy!
